Looking for houses in Legian Bali

Many people ask about houses and villas. Sure the holiday villas are well advertised, with silly rates to match. Long term rentals are all over the place too, but are a bit harder to find. Riding up Jl. Legian and checking out the bulletin boards in cafes and warungs used by westerners is a good idea. Another great idea is to rent a motorbike / scooter, and ride down the small gangs (alleys) they crisscross, Kuta, Legian, Seminyak.

You have no idea what you will find down these gangs and behind the nastiest wall can sometimes be the nicest villa. Here is a good example of a sign you might see on the corner of a gang, advertising a villa. I know one villa owner with over 50 properties. Sometimes you knock on a door and that leads to other places. If you are outside a place and there is no doorbell, just do what the locals do, holler “Hello, hello.” Its all cool and no one minds.
